The Diagram Shows One Plate of a Parallel-Plate Capacitor from Within

question 4

Multiple Choice

The diagram shows one plate of a parallel-plate capacitor from within the capacitor.The plate is circular and has radius R.The dashed circles are four integration paths have radii of r₁ = R/4, r₂ = R/2, r₃ =3 R/2, and r₄ = 2R.Rank the paths according to the magnitude of around the paths during the discharging of the capacitor, least to greatest.
